Walter's Day Out

Walter and his wife head off to a sea-side resort for a one-day holiday, lumbered with a co-worker's children and trying to avoid his boss (who thinks he's work) in this primitive but amusing silent comedy.

It's a goodly assortment of kicks and mud at an amusement pak that had been popular in American comedies for a couple of decades -- Coney Island, the Long Pier at San Diego -- and so except for the British nature of these short comedies, there isn't much to recommend them. Mr. Forde would move behind the camera and become an expert director of feature comedies and thrillers for the British industries for the next couple of decades, and do much better thereby.
